Obviously I would use magic and my girlfriend would have a sword, the most practical and problem solving option 🙂‍↕️

Old style proofreading: the final frontier 🙃

It is really worth doing this even though I've gone over this mss so many times already. A few punctuation things, a few typos, and occasional unnecessary sentences or unclear dialogue tags add up!

Okay, okay, I give in, it’s 2025 awards eligibility time! I still have December stories coming, which means I cannot yet bring myself to make an extra-fancy graphic or a full long thread, but… until then, I hope you’ll consider reading some of my stories! Will link a couple favorites in the 🧵 (1/4)

I'm going with @jcsnow.bsky.social's The Phoenix and the Sword, which involves love across multiple lifespans, but only ONE of them remembers! The phoenix is unable to harm anyone, so she also can't protect herself, which makes for a great fighter & healer pairing. #AMoRaR

I don't have any scary stories to share for Halloween, but I do have a ghost story! "Handsomest Gentlest" is about the flaming-eyed fiend who stalks the forest of the dead. It's also a story about a boy and his dog. I have been told that it might make you sad. 🖤

On Intersex Awareness Day, a shout out and gratitude to Small Luk, intersex human rights activist from Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to have time with her and to hear her story a couple of years ago, and I'll never forget it.
